"Of course, it might not be helped by the fact that my Apple keyboard doesn't
have a numeric keypad with a plus symbol on it. If we are going to try and
reproduce this problem, we need an example that at least works for everyone and
is not dependent on some particular keyboard layout..."

Alex,

Good point.  At the moment this macro is only designed for a PC keyboard.  I
overlooked this, as did the original author, but please read on.

A) Obvious facts:

  * The physical Apple/PC keyboards are different
  * And even for the same exact key codes the two OS's use these codes
differently

B) Deduction from these facts:

  * Application software must allow for these differences,
  * This requires that LO on different platforms must operate differently
(esentually your point above I think).

So the first answer is that the key(s) used on the mac and the pc will have to
be different.

Given that the Ctrl-' has worked on PCs for 15 years, or so that I know of,
this leaves one question:  Which is the best key to use for this feature on the
apple?


As I'm not an expert on this, I will have to defer to someone like you, who has
more experience w/ apple machines.  Can you suggest to me which key should be
used on the Apple and I will try to install it into the macro?

I'll have to figure out how to detect which PC this is running on, and alter
the software (and help and documentation) to make it work reasonably on both
platforms.

Then, we can re-test on your machine.

Thanks again for your work on this.  I just love the feature of being able to
copy a record, like in accounting to save lots of keystrokes.
